Dan Matthews of D.R. Mat- thews and Associates, the com- pany doing the development work for the Shames Mountain Ski Corporation, said businesses other than those directly involved in skiing can expect to benefit from a ski operation. There's a perception. that ski hills are owned ‘‘by rich developers who have. all kinds of money, That’s not really true. In reality, the whole com- munity has to stand behind it ‘and say ‘let's make this thing .work,’ ” said Matthews. Matthews added that ski developments in northern areas draw more repeat customers than other places as people are willing to drive further and ski. more often, One danger point in some ski developments is undercharging to the extent that revenues aren't enough to pay expenses, he said. Dan Matthews require seven-day weeks to ac- complish, he said. An evaluation of the old ski lift equipment on Kitsumkalum Mountain has been done and it . will soon be ready for refur- bishing, Matthews and Associates construction manager Mark Grabowski add- ed.

Dave St. Thomas said some plowing has taken place to help out with the drying but that there is still too much snow on upper portions. The 4.5km road leads off from a 9km stretch built in from Hwy16 by Skeena Cellulose as a logging road It'll provide access to the Shames Mountain Ski Corporation development. “We hope to be up there the beginning of May. The first project will be surveying and grade lay out,’’ said St. Thomas. He added that a scheduled completion date of August has been ‘put back until mid- September because of changes in the way the road will be built. The 4.5km section will cost approximately $2.6 million, half of which was spent last year working on the section closest to Shames. St. Thomas said construction won't affect any work by the Shames Mountain Ski Corpora- tion because it’ll be able to use an older and less suitable road leading up the mountain, ~ Cooper had said she was op- posed to making the additional cuts required to balance the budget and avoid a referendum. ja SSeS SS See RESO Un ~FUN - FUN. p Slides & pools every Monday, 2 for T, bring a friend.
